A gentleman who Is interested in the
Passumpsic gives the following reasons
for the lease of that road to the Boston
and Lowell. "ln the first place we long
ago gave the Canadian Pacific assurance
that when they bridged the St. Lawrence
we would do our part toward giving them
a through line to Boston. That time has
come, and it behooves us to live up to
our agreement Then, again, the Boston
and Lowell has joined hands with the
Canadian Pacific, and if we didn't lease
our road we would lose some profitable
contracts with It, And finally five or six
per cent, free from taxation, guaranteed
by Il strong corporation, without any
risk or trouble to us, is better than we
could possibly do by running the road our
selves"

The Burlington Gazette this morning
laments over the condition of its city:
There is altogether too much distrust
among the people of this city. Instead
of joining generally in the advancement
of interests that must benefit the town,
too many of four leading and wealthy
men haYe little axes of their own to
grind and the result is that they all have
an extremely dull edge. We must be
less selfish, more willing to lend our aid
to every plan that will promote the gen
eral good. There are men in Burlington
who have accumulated wealth and stand.

a slim swell would not think of 1t for an

For business wear the sack suit is the
one good thing. There are several
styles announced among the correct
things, and 1t is yet too early to predict
with fine degree of accuracy which will
be the most popular. Thus far the one
that has the call is single-breasted
straight front sack, closing with four
buttons. The double-breasted sack coat
is expected to be greatly in demand as
soon as really cold weather sets in for
good. 1t is designed to be worn without
an overcoat. The plated blouses, SO
popular among business men who like
comfortable garment, will not be worn at
all, unless by some independents who
think more Of their comfort than they
do of fashion. This style has been killed
doubly dead by "ready-made" clothiers,
who have made them by the thousand
for youths and boys. The probable limit
of the trousers in any kind of goods is
reached in the business suit. 1t will
measure twenty inches at the knee!
The leading overcoat will be the
Chesterfield, or fy-front oversack. The
fall coat of this style is from thirty seven
to thirty-eight inches. In winter 1t will
be made of beaver or Montagnac, and be
from two to three inches longer. The
collar will be Of velvet, and it will be the
swell thing to have the edges bound with
the same material. The cape overcOat
will be popular and correct this season.

THROUGH THE HEART.

Different Methods Of Work and Their
Different Results.
The parish of Grosbury had two ministers
within year. The town was settled by q
few families of strong, shrewd intellects
and stronger prejudices. When men Of
active brain are forced into isolated,
solitary lives, apart from the world and its
wider interests, they usually develop eccen-
tricities. Just as a tree grows gnarled when 1t
is cramped by its environments.
Mr.. Wood, as we shall call the first pastor,
Christian. He resolved to beard each sepa.
rate lion in its den. He listened to the COM
plants which his parishioners poured into
his ears Of each other, and then began his
round of visits.
Know these as your faults, fight them, pray
against them"
"You," to another, "are charged with
dealings 50 sharp o. TO be dishonest" You
are untruthful." "You, idle and extraya-
Sess faults as Sut eadd Tsn arsSfs SSgan
listened with indignation or icy composure
In less than year he was forced to resign
his charge. He had accomplished nothing.
His successor heard his story in silence.
He heard also the charges against each of his
flock, but made no comment. After some
weeks he had discovered the few good quail
ties of these faulty men, and then he went to
work. He combined them all into great
charitable organization. To one who had
executive ability he gave the management.
A man who was fond of children he placed
in control of the school. Clever people
wrote, dull ones worked with the needle or
tools; those whose manner was friendly and
attractive were sent out to bring in wanderers
from the highways. He came nearer to
them day by day, as their fellow-worker and
friend
The first pastor returning after few years,
found body of earnest, active Christians
working together humbly and peaceably.
"How did you reach them? Every door
Of their hearts was barred against me-" he
said.
"The Spirit of God has always entered q
mans heart by one door," was the reply.
ut is usually hinted to you by his chief
good quality. Bring Christ to him through
that way, not by attacking his worst passion
or vice. Disarm him by an outstretched
hand. Do not force him to put on his ar
NOR by previous attack"
There is not one of lis who does not wish
to win our way to the hearts of others, to
help and cheer them. In the words of this
wise old pastor, we may find hint that
will be of use to u.s. Youths Companion.
